# Can a long build resume after an interruption?

Updated: 2026-10-27

Uvilno preserves completed-file checkpoints and supports viewing an unfinished draft or continuing the brief after interruption. The verified version remains separate. Recovery has retention and execution limits, and a checkpoint is not a verified application; inspect its status before treating it as ready to launch.

A network interruption and a failed server build are different events. Durable work can continue independently of the browser, while a stopped attempt may leave completed modules that can seed recovery. Reopen the owned project and inspect its actual run status instead of repeatedly submitting a new build.

An unfinished preview is useful evidence, but may lack a route, dependency or valid data contract. Continue from the saved request with relevant context intact. Do not overwrite the last verified version simply to make an incomplete candidate look successful.

## What to verify

| Check | Published behavior | Verification |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Checkpoint | Completed modules can remain privately recoverable. | Look for View saved draft and Continue build. |
| Saved version | Verified output stays separate from unfinished work. | Switch back to the last saved version. |
| Limits | Retention and execution remain finite. | Read the current recovery status before retrying. |

## Steps

1. Reopen the same project rather than creating a duplicate.
2. Inspect the saved draft and last verified version.
3. Continue the captured brief and review the final checks.

## Editable starting brief

Plan a multi-page operations app in bounded stages. Establish route and data contracts before code, generate shared modules first, preserve completed private files if a provider interrupts, and keep unfinished previews labeled separately from verified versions. Resume the same brief instead of duplicating all work or silently replacing the working saved site.
